They sure don't give a damn about US citizenship and US property - that is for sure, as events since 9/11 have shown. One more point - in spite of what you say, remember where your US bound aircraft landed. That actually does remain quite weird a story. Granted, GW ran for cover and most likely left no one at the help. Still, when whoever that is who decided it decided to close off US airspace, my guess is the planes en route were not even thought off. Those aircraft flew into safe havens because there was no option! There was no false sense of security because those airports were the only hope for those originally flying towards then-insecure USA. In hindsight, Canada ought to have charged a hefty fee for US-registered planes who insisted in landing in Canada. Something like a million buck/pax. Choice of that or the Atlantic. Still better than the US whose choice was the Atlantic or getting shot down, right? But no, Chretien was just too nice and he apparently had no hesitation in doing the necessary for handling US government stupidity. |

Where is Saddam? Where are the Sunni thugs who ruled that country with an iron fist? Who makes up the new Iraqi government and what are their goals? How many newspapers are now being published in Baghdad free of censorship? How many women make up that new governing council? How many young girls are for the first time going to school in Iraq? How is it that Iraq now has more social infrastructure in place than it ever did under Saddam? I understand you're mad. Rabid dogs get mad. What I don't understand is your ignorance and your willingness to spread it all over the world via the usenet. My my, so this is your definition of winning. OK so the US finally got ****ed off at Saddam AFTER supporting him and giving him all those WMDs to fight those dastardly Ayatollas ... Why did you let him go on for so long? Ask Bill Clinton. and will hand over the stinking mess they started (with their invasion) for someone else to deal with while at the same time extolling their mattra "WE won the war!! WE won the war!! What revisionistic bull****. Your superpower does not have the ability to create peace, just to "win" by killing all opposition and flattening the country. Kinda like the German Panzer division did when they opened up on the Polish Calvary at the beginning of WW II. Even though they overran Poland they had nothing but trouble for the rest of the "war". Then the Germans were defeated. The US won't win the peace offensive because they do NOT have the capability. If they did have that capability why do they pass off the destroyed countryside to someone else AND ask them to get involved in the peace process. You need to look more closely at WW2 history. The two countries who were the chief architects of WW2 - Germany and Japan were both leveled by the United States and both rebuilt via the Marshal Plan into first world countries by the same United States of America. Oh, the USA won the war! More revisionist bull****. Why were RCAF, RAF, RAAF and RNZAF aircrews bombing the AXIS powers? For practice? Why are there thousands of British, Canadian, French, Australian, New Zealand and other ALLIED soldiers buried all over this earth adjactent to or near the cemetaries of AXIS warriors? They weren't accomplishing much until the Americans arrived. Surely you must mean the Soviets? Who al;most singlehanded defeated the Nazis, while the US were more or less tied in the Pacific? Who do you think was supplying the Soviets? The Americans of course. We were supplying their war machine as well as fighting a two front war. The Soviets would have been overrun if it wasn't for American assistance and intervention in the European theater. So? The Soviets almoat singlehandedluy defeated the Nazis. No, they didn't. If there was no Western front the Soviets would have been beaten. |

According to him, Germany lost the war at the battle of Kursk (May/43). They were in full retreat. His own father defied orders and pulled back from his position in Chechnya, and according to him, German troops headed west in the hope of surrendering to the Allies because they could not hold back the soviets. |

What's wrong with this picture. |

They would have come up to the Atlantic shores. In 1944, Germany was on its last legs already, having been soundly beaten on the Eastern front. No more young boys to draft, no reseouce except some trickling in from the US, etc. |
